Give £10 to buy a Christmas meal for a homeless person

An appeal to donate £10 to enable a homeless person to enjoy a Christmas dinner has been launched by Rt Revd Stephen Cottrell, Bishop of Chelmsford. (Shown right with HARP chef, Amanda Luxton.)

Southend's Homeless Action Resource Project aims to provide up to 700 meals for the needy.

The Bishop said: "As Christmas approaches and the nights turn cold, I would like you to think for a moment about those who do not have a home or job, or support of a family and who may well be sleeping on the streets.
"HARP in Southend provides many thousands of hot meals to the homeless every year."
